Victorian Fashions for Women and Children: Society's Impact on Dress (Paperback)

Revealed here are children's and women's clothing, including
undergarments, leisurewear, and street apparel from 1860 to 1900.
Over 270 photographs combine with text to enable accurate dating of
clothing to within a three- to seven-year time frame. Nineteenth
century photographs are supplemented by surviving examples of
period clothing, many picturing both the outside and inner
construction. The text is based on Victorian fashion, medical,
etiquette, and advice literature and reveals the often-surprising
reasons females were willing to become such devoted slaves to
dress, as well as the impact dress had upon their lives and health.
This well-researched book also explores the constraints of
childhood during this era, which lends valuable insight into
women's acceptance of nonsensical fashions as adults. Endnotes are
included.
